1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the demographic characteristics, clinical features, and management strategies of TNF inhibitor-related autoimmune disorders (TIRAIDs) in pediatric rheumatology practice.

methodsThe medical records of 71 pediatric patients treated with a TNF inhibitor for a rheumatologic disease and who exhibited any TIRAIDs during a 10-year period were retrospectively evaluated.

resultsThe prevalence of TIRAIDs was 2.8% among 2450 pediatric patients who needed to use any TNF inhibitor drugs due to a rheumatologic disease. There was a female predominance (n = 40, 56%). TIRAIDs were observed in 49 patients (69%) receiving etanercept, 16 patients (23%) receiving adalimumab, and 6 patients (8%) receiving infliximab. The median time to TIRAIDs was 21.6 months. Non-infectious uveitis (38%) was the most common TIRAID, followed by paradoxical psoriasis (PP) (25%), lupus-like disease (8%), multiple sclerosis (7%), episcleritis (7%), and hidradenitis suppurativa (1%). In 58% of patients, treatment was switched to another TNF inhibitor, while in 42%, it was switched to a non-TNF biological therapy and/or cDMARDs. Complete resolution of TIRAIDs was observed in 63% of the patients. C-reactive protein levels and Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-27 were significantly higher during the development of TIRAIDs in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis compared to the remission period (p < 0.001 and p = 0.041, respectively).

conclusionsAmong TIRAIDs, non-infectious uveitis and PP were the most frequently observed manifestations, predominantly occurring during etanercept treatment. Disease activity tended to increase during the onset of TIRAIDs. Discontinuation of TNF inhibitor therapy and switching to another biological treatment may be effective in achieving clinical remission.
